To gain the initial ideas for the colour scheme of my contents page, I looked at the contents pages of official R&B magazines such as Billboard and Vibe. After doing this, I thought of how I can link the colour scheme (grey and red being popular with R&B) to my contents page while also linking it to my cover.
The colour scheme of my contents page links to those of my
front cover and double page spread. For the title of the page(‘contents’), I
decided that I would make the colour black instead of grey as I felt that it
would look too similar or alike to my cover page. I also felt it was better to
use the grey colour for the background of the feature boxes as the lighter font
and darker background make it more unique in comparison to other music
magazines (of other genres) which attracts he audience’s attention and straight
away allows them to find a specific area.
Looking at official R&B magazines, I realise that the
colour of the page number and feature next to it are the same colour unlike
other genres. To make my magazine give off more of the R&B genre, I used
this to my advantage by linking the similarities to official magazines. The flatplan of my contents page shows the use of the tick red line to separate the images from the text and also the title from the text - I used the red colour for this graphic as I used the same colour for the graphics used on my front cover as this colour is also in my colour scheme as well as grey, black and white. The colour scheme is also used with the mise-en-scene of my artist as her clothes and make up match it.
